Maximum protection and safety are a REEVU helmet’s main requirements; shields are projected and manufactured with extremely evolved materials.
“APC” is an exclusive technology to Reevu. Allowing complex shapes with tri composite material, capable of spreading impact power on the complete helmet surface. It grants an excellent degree of impact resistance.
IMPACT RESISTANCE, DIFFERENT SHIELDS / PADS
REEVU helmets are manufactured with 2 internal liners,
1 crumple zone absorption part, and external tri composite
carbon shell. For the different sizes: the inner padding
has a different thickness for all the sizes, which can
be adjusted with accessory parts to add the bespoke fit
and to add comfort and better impact properties.
HOMOLOGATION
REEVU helmet satisfies the main European homologation ECE-ONU 22-05. However, this helmet has surpassed many other standards and is awaiting certification once the demand in the European community subsides. This homologation involves extremely severe safety tests. The helmet is submitted to flexibility and bump resistance tests, simulating different impacts at different speeds. Power and length of the impact are measured, even at -20° and +50°, or in wet conditions and after extended UV ray exposure.
COMFORT
Each, REEVU helmet manufactured is hand assembled with perfectly integrated spare parts and special padding. This offers the wearer substantial softness for high quality comfort.
In order to prevent dampness inside the helmet, a material covering is used that is able to absorb and expel perspiration. The fabric gives a pleasurable feeling, and is easily replaced and washable.
VENTILATION
Effective internal ventilation is fundamental for comfort and safety. Riding in maximum comfort and feeling relaxed allows the wearer to give all the attention to the street. REEVU helmets are equipped with a ventilation system projected and tested; air will come in across front positioned slots, above and below the visor, moves along many pipes and holes, and comes out across rear slots, positioned near the rear glass. Rider's head is kept fresh and dry even in torrid climate.
LOW NOISE
A major factor in the design of the helmet was to deliver a low noise solution to the many throbbing eardrums of motorbike helmet wearers. The unique design through wind tunnel testing has now prevailed to achieve that goal.
APC MATERIALS
Ultra light shield, in composite materials, manufactured
with evolved APC technology, allowing complex shape tri
composite shells, capable of spreading impact load across
the helmet surface. The shell is composed of carbon fibreglass,
Kevlar and synthetic hi-tenacity advanced fibre, tied
up from high-lengthening vinylester.
Internal shells are made in dual density EPS,
very light with a high coefficient bump absorption, creating
a structure with different density in order to have more
impact distribution.
Polycarbonate ventilation slots, that together
with the channeling on the inside shell, allow the air
flow inside the helmet.
Polycarbonate injected visor with high optical
quality and easy refit.
Completely removable and washable lining, for
perfect comfort and cleanliness.
Double D ring retention system.
APC
APC is the high performance technology
used for external shields. APC is Advanced
Performance Composite, with two main characteristics:
Strengthened layer composition
One of the peculiarities of APC is the shaping process.
Generally a fibre helmet obtains its stability thanks
to the polycarbonate material, soaked with combined material
(as fibreglass) and heat hardened. The stability of the
helmets depends on the quality of the materials and on
the mutual affinity of them. APC allows to create an organic
fibre structure, which is three dimensional formed, creating
a lighter shield with more stability, containing superfluous
material accumulation and no rejection during the shaping
process.
Layer material
APC shield is composed by polycarbonate material, warmth
hardened fibreglass layer and other organic fibres. Different
light organic fibres are applied in appropriate positions,
following the characteristics and design of the shell.
An APC helmet has more lightness and flexibility, and
the same stability.
Quality
REEVU helmet is manufactured with the most developed technology and is hand made assembled. All the production units are submitted to severe quality control. The helmets are submitted to a computerized test of bump absorption and material density. Obviously all the helmets are also visually checked, in order to grant a top quality level of painting and global quality. REEVU helmets are manufactured at factories, with ISO 9001/2000 certification (cert. SQ02923).
